In the Shadows of Love

Whispers in the night, shadows on the wall,

A glance in the dark, how did we fall?

Caught in the silence, hearts on a line,

Tangled in secrets, but I’ll stay behind.

She walks through the door, with a smile that can light,

This heavy old world, but there’s something not right,

Another man's shadow is cast on her soul,

But deep in my heart, I just want to make her whole.

She’s lost in confusion, but I see her shine,

With every soft whisper, I’m holding her mind,

Life left some bruises, she's wearing them proud,

But I’ll be the calm in her stormy crowd.

I’ll be the friend that you need, holding you close,

I’ll never push you away, just want you to glow,

You’re my brightest star in a sky full of gray,

Oh love, you’re the reason I’m here every day.

Memories flooding, like waves on the shore,

Moments we shared, I can't help but adore,

Every gentle heartache, every laugh that we made,

You’re the light in my darkness, the choices I’ve weighed.

When you told me you loved me, for how I have cared,

I saw every piece of you that life had impaired,

Built up the courage to open your chest,

Now you’re finding your worth, and baby, you’re blessed.

I’ll be the friend that you need, holding you close,

I’ll never push you away, just want you to glow,

You’re my brightest star in a sky full of gray,

Oh love, you’re the reason I’m here every day.

No chains or demands, just a love that is pure,

In the silence, my heart's been so sure,

I’ll stand on the sidelines, while you find your way,

As long as you’re happy, I’ll never sway.

So take all the time, let your heart find the way,

I’m cheering you on, through the night and the day,

In this tangled up love, I’ve found something true,

Just know in my heart, I’m still here for you.
